Most enterprise networks today are managed using Active Directory and it is imperative for a security professional to understand the threats to the Windows infrastructure. Certified Red Team Expert (CRTE) course and lab is designed to provide a platform for security professionals to understand, analyze and practice threats and attacks against a modern Windows network infrastructure.
Applications are vital components of an enterprise. Hence application security also becomes an integral part of the enterprise network that helps prevent security vulnerabilities against various threats. Currently, most enterprises are leveraging Cloud services to deploy/host their applications. So, it is equally important to secure those applications. The attack surface for the applications deployed/hosted in the cloud changes drastically and varies between cloud service providers. Azure is a cloud service provider that offers multiple cloud services that are very popular in enterprise environments. In this course, we will explore and learn about various enterprise application services offered by Azure like App Service, Function Apps, Enterprise Applications, API Management, Cosmos DB, SQL Server etc. This hands-on class covers abusing application flaws/misconfiguration, features, and interoperability to compromise an enterprise-like live lab environment. Each student gets a dedicated lab! As a bonus, there is a shared lab to practice with fellow students. The class also covers security controls useful in defending against the discussed attacks.
The Certified Red Team Professional (CRTP) is a beginner-friendly, hands-on certification offered by Altered Security. It focuses on teaching security professionals how to assess and enhance the security of Enterprise Active Directory environments. The course covers topics such as Active Directory enumeration, trust mapping, domain privilege escalation, Kerberos-based attacks, SQL server trusts, and defense bypass techniques. Participants can choose between an on-demand course with flexible self-paced learning or an instructor-led bootcamp spanning four weeks. Both options provide access to a lab environment featuring updated Server 2022 machines, comprehensive video courses, lab manuals, and a certification exam attempt. The CRTP certification is valid for three years, with a free renewal process available to keep up with evolving technologies and skills.
Identity plays a crucial role in security of an enterprise environment. Certainly, Identity is the new security perimeter. In an enterprise environment, Identity is usually managed by Active Directory or by Azure AD in case of a Hybrid Identity. An often-overlooked part of enterprise infrastructure is Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS). AD CS is a Windows Server Role that implements Public Key Infrastructure and can be used for user authentication, machine authentication, document signing, email signing, file encryption and so much more. This makes AD CS a crucial part of Identity Management.
